A bold and intense brew, double dry hopped to release an ever-increasing cascade of fruity aromas, with a delicate sweetness and a balancing earthy undertone.
Strong aromas of sweet mango and stone fruit are balanced with a zesty citrus bitterness and a piney resinous finish.

Can. Supermarket special. Hazy orange gold beer, decent pale cream colour head. Airy and slightly soft palate, decent fine minerally carbonation late on. Fluffy pale malts, an airy creamy sweetness. Soft pine. As per the can description, sweet mango. A little citrus adds dimension but this is primarily a sweet tropical hop IPA. Nice enough.

Can at home. Beautiful colour in the glass, almost alive, with a great head. Soft mouth feel with plenty of length, but a bit too sweet for me. I could have done with some more jagged hops. A really good beer though.

Keg draught at the Head of Steam, Newcastle. Light yellow gold, thick and hazy with a small film of white head. Getting some melon and pink grapefruit from the aroma, but my goodness is it light. Taste is a lot more forthcoming, with a bitterness quickly clamping down on the initial sweetness. Loads of cantaloupe, grapefruit, some sweet lemon. Body is full with carbonation on the soft side. Misses the target a bit but still good.

440ml can from Tescos, Amersham, Bucks. A hazy golden/orange/yellow coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Hoppy, citrus, orange, peach, tropical fruit taste and aroma. A decent supermarket offering, would pick this up again as a fridge filler.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up from the big, local Tesco. Pours pours hazy yellow-gold with a creamy, white topping. Medium sweet flavour with notes of citrus rind, pale bread, light pine, peach, melon. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Finishes with further citrus rind, bready pale mats, nips of pine. Decent sauce.

440ml can. Poured a hazy golden orange colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is grainy malts, orange tangerine citrus fruits. The flavour is moderate sweet and bitter, with a smooth, fresh, big juicy, orange citrus, light floral, herbal, light hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation. A real juice bomb!
